We have to remember that New Zealand is a unitary state. In Canada, we have a blessing and a curse, where we have federal, provincial, regional, municipal and first nations.... You have a lot of different contexts for how sex work may look in different regions. How it looks in Toronto isn't the same as how it looks in northern Ontario. To ask, “Should we adopt the New Zealand model?” is too simple. There needs to be a much more informed approach taken by this committee.
I would like to correct the record. Migrant workers are targeted in New Zealand. If you look at the previous briefs that were submitted, especially by Jamie Liew and the Canadian Alliance for Sex Work Law Reform.... People don't just get brought in to work freely. They are targeted, as well.
